Nine Aging, Poor-Quality Residential Areas Selected,
Including Semi-Basement Clusters and Flood-Prone Zones
Service Contract Preparations to Be Completed Within the First Half of the Year

Nine additional sites, including the 75-il area of Mia-dong in Gangbuk-gu, Seoul, have been selected as rapid integrated planning target areas. These aging and poor-quality residential areas, which were vulnerable to flooding due to poor infrastructure and dense semi-basement housing, are expected to be newly transformed.

On the 27th, the Seoul Metropolitan Government held the "2025 1st Housing Redevelopment Project Candidate Site Selection Committee" and announced on the 28th that nine additional candidate sites for rapid integrated planning had been selected.

The newly selected redevelopment promotion zones are △75-il area of Mia-dong, Gangbuk-gu △730-il area of Itaewon-dong, Yongsan-gu △306-il area of Sillim-dong, Gwanak-gu △74-107-il area of Bukgajwa-dong, Seodaemun-gu △254-15-il area of Junggok 1-dong, Gwangjin-gu △120-1-il area of Gaebong-dong, Guro-gu △719-il area of Guro-dong, Guro-gu △305-35-il area of Sadang-dong, Dongjak-gu △359-1-il area of Bulgwang-dong, Eunpyeong-gu. With this additional selection, the total number of rapid integrated planning redevelopment promotion zones has increased to 97.

The candidate sites were selected mainly from areas urgently needing residential environment improvement, with high resident consent rates and the potential to secure consent rates along future access roads. The city plans to complete preparations for service contracts for the nine selected zones within the first half of this year and begin establishing maintenance plans.

Looking at each target area, the 75-il area of Mia-dong, Gangbuk-gu, is an aging low-rise residential area with a high proportion of semi-basement houses and includes areas expected to experience flooding. Through this redevelopment project, the residential environment of the target area is expected to improve and high-quality housing will be supplied.

The 730-il area of Itaewon-dong, Yongsan-gu, is an aging poor-quality housing area that was removed from the Hannam Redevelopment Promotion District’s Hannam 1 Promotion Zone. When the project proceeds, residential environment improvements are expected to be made together with the Hannam Redevelopment Promotion Project.

The 306-il area of Sillim-dong, Gwanak-gu, is a layered aging housing cluster on a hilly terrain adjacent to Hoam-ro, and residential environment improvements linked with Sillim 1, 2, and 3 Redevelopment Promotion Zones are expected.

The 74-107-il area of Bukgajwa-dong, Seodaemun-gu, has a high proportion of semi-basement houses, and residential environment improvement effects are anticipated in harmony with the Gajwaul Redevelopment Promotion Zone.

The 254-15-il area of Junggok 1-dong, Gwangjin-gu, has a high proportion of semi-basement houses near Gunja Station and Jungnangcheon Stream, and lacks parks. When the project proceeds, necessary infrastructure is expected to be established in the area.

The 120-1-il area of Gaebong-dong, Guro-gu, is a low-rise aging residential area near Nambusunhwan-ro, and is expected to have a smooth transportation system through resolving elevation differences with Nambusunhwan-ro. The 719-il area of Guro-dong, Guro-gu, is expected to form a housing complex in conjunction with nearby redevelopment and Moa Town.

The 305-35-il area of Sadang-dong, Dongjak-gu, is an area near Namseong Station with a high density of lakes and a high proportion of semi-basement houses. The city expects improved accessibility from Sadang-ro through road construction linked with the surrounding station area revitalization project.

The 359-1-il area of Bulgwang-dong, Eunpyeong-gu, is an area near Yeonsinnae Station with low road frontage rates and a high proportion of semi-basement houses. Together with the northern Eunpyeong Redevelopment Promotion District, it is expected to play a role in improving the residential environment in the northwest area.

Choi Jin-seok, Director of the Housing Office of Seoul City, stated, "We will provide full administrative support to enable rapid housing supply and create a better residential environment through rapid integrated planning."
